How To Make Your Garden Thrive 
and Mature Early 
The kind of plant food required in your soil depends on the 
kind of a crop you are to raise. In order to make your garden 
produce its maximum yield at the lowest cost for fertilizer 
you should supply only those elements which are immediately 
available and which will be absorbed by the plant. 
For Gardeners, Fruit Growers, Florists 
and General Use n&sssg 
Comprise special distinct compositions of plant food elements 
for vegetables, small fruits, root crops, flowers, greenhouses, 
lawns and tree-crops. They supply only the constituents your 
particular soil needs for some special crop. For example our 
Early-Crop Odorless Fertilizer 
supplies your soil with the four plant food 
elements in immediately available form 
needed by vegetables and small fruits for 
quick growth and early maturity. It is the 
most effective and convenient fertilizer 
you apply for such crops and in the 
end the most economical. 
Write tpday for our free Fertilizer 
Booklet — it is full of valuable informa¬ 
tion and is as valuable as a text-book 
on soil fertility.

House lighting is a hundred years or more behind every 
other science. THE LIGHTING BOOK tells you how to 
make your lighting economical, efficient and decorative. 
THE LIGHTING BOOK 
By F. LAURENT GODINEZ Illustrated, $1.25 net 
It is a great misfortune to thousands it could not have been 
written and published fifty years ago . — “Boston Transcript." 
Artificial light as it is used to-day is a serious menace to the eyesight of our nation. Indeed the lighting of our 
public places and frequently of our homes is dangerous to our health, because of the ruinous effect on the eyes. 
THE LIGHTING BOOK tells how to subdue the dangerous brilliancy of harsh, white lights giving 
repose and comfort in the home at small expense and with simple equipment.
